AU Job Market Visualizer Inspired by karpathy/jobs

LLM-powered coloring: The Digital AI Exposure layer uses Google Gemini to score each occupation on a 0–10 scale, estimating how much current AI (language, code, image, analysis) will reshape that occupation in Australia. Toggle between shortage status, median pay, skill level, and AI exposure to explore different dimensions of the labour market.

You are an expert analyst evaluating how exposed different occupations are to AI in the Australian context. You will be given a description of an occupation from the Australian ANZSCO classification. Rate the occupation's overall Digital AI Exposure on a scale from 0 to 10. AI Exposure measures: how much will AI reshape this occupation in Australia over the next 5 years? Consider both direct effects (AI automating tasks) and indirect effects (AI making workers so productive that fewer are needed). Weight the score toward current digital AI capabilities (language, code, image, analysis) — not hypothetical future robotics. Key signal: if the job can be done entirely from a home computer — writing, coding, analyzing, communicating — then AI exposure is inherently high (7+). Physical presence, manual skill, and real-world unpredictability are natural barriers. Australian-specific context: FIFO mining, aged care, construction trades, childcare, and hospitality are major Australian employment categories with lower AI exposure. Knowledge work in finance, law, tech, and government administration has high exposure. Calibration anchors: - 0–1: Minimal. Almost entirely physical or unpredictable environments. - 2–3: Low. Mostly physical/interpersonal. AI helps only with minor admin. - 4–5: Moderate. Mix of physical and knowledge work. - 6–7: High. Predominantly knowledge work. - 8–9: Very high. Almost entirely computer-based. - 10: Maximum. Routine digital processing. Respond with ONLY a JSON object: {"exposure": <0-10>, "rationale": "<2-3 sentences>"}

Caveat on AI Exposure scores: These are rough LLM estimates, not rigorous predictions. A high score does not predict the job will disappear. Software developers score 9/10 because AI is transforming their work — but demand could easily grow as each developer becomes more productive. The score does not account for demand elasticity, latent demand, regulatory barriers, or social preferences for human workers.
